When is the last time the Angels won five in a row?

Last year.

Yea I just looked it up, I thought they had a 6 gamer but it was five, twice.

If I remember correctly the first 2 months were pretty encouraging, then they shit the bed.

Nice catch by Drury!

[tdawg87]

This team showing the literal exact opposite of what Wash and Enright were preaching all spring. 

Maybe the players have a learning disability.

[Duren, Duren]

I wonder if there is or will be some internal resentment towards Rendon on the team ? With his non enthusiastic attitude, lack of production and bloated contract you wonder how he'll be handled if he doesn't snap out of his 'new normal' form. The longer it continues the more he may be the cause of dissension.

I can't wait till we move from "this guy doesn't want to play!" to "I don't want this guy to play!"

Best FA we've had in quite a while

[T.G.]

I guess Tim Anderson can still hit

[Slegnaac]

I see Silseth is having command problems.

If he was on my team, I wouldn't talk to him unless I had to, and I'd stay as far away from him as possible.

Angels pitchers HATE throwing first pitch strikes

[fan_since79]

74 pitches for Silseth.

He has, but not as bad as the numbers m Thaiss receives pretty bad and umpire squeezed a bit. 

[T.G.]

End of 3.

Or they're not physically capable of throwing first pitch strikes.

Was watching the DBacks game from yesturday...the starting pitcher threw first pitch strikes to like...17 of the 20 guys he faced. 

Prepare to be shocked: He won the game. 

[Dtwncbad]

The consensus has seemed to be that we should be excited about the present and future of Silseth.  I have almost felt guilty being not excited at all about him.  A 11th rounder getting to the bigs very quickly is absolutely a pretty cool story.

But I have never quite seen why THAT cool story means I am supposed to think he is going to be anything more than a back of the rotation starter.

I see Trout has done absolutely nothing to try and close the giant gaping hole in his swing.  He looks like washed up garbage.

This one deserved the Strad troll emoji.

Chill out. 

He'll come around. 

If there's anyone to have faith in, it's him.
